Hi guys,

I am trying to connect an FTP client to one of my filers to get a crash dump.

I have no CFS or NFS and the filer is not attached to our domain.

I have the following settings on, But i am still not able to make a connection. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

You posted this question on a V-Series community. This community focuses on back-end usage of third party (non-NetApp) storage arrays with our V-Series controllers.

FTP questions are front-end items that would apply to any FAS or V-Series controller.

You should post your question to a different community.

You may also want to open a support case with NetApp Support (NGS)

Set options ftpd.auth_style to unix and create an entry in /etc/passwd or NIS.
